Fans give their thoughts following the sacking of Manchester United manager
David Moyes and after just 10 months in the job

There were varied opinions on the streets of Manchester on Tuesday after the early morning announcement that David Moyes was no longer Manchester United's team manager.

Moyes did not complete the season after a string of defeats meant the club is struggling in seventh place in the Premier League. By failing to finish in the top four Manchester United miss out on qualification, or the chance of qualification, for the Champions League.

Moyes was brought in at the end of 2013 when Alex Ferguson retired from the post after 26 years, but Moyes just could not keep the momentum or standard high enough.

"We have got good players and there is a class team, you know play-for-play there is a good team," said one supporter. "So we should be playing better football than that. He has just not delivered, they have not played the right football and the results have been shocking for a team like Manchester United".

But another said that Moyes had not had the proper backing of the players.

"I am a diehard fan and I supported Moyes all the way through the season," he said. "At the end of the day I don't think he did a bad job with the team that he has got but we should have finished higher than we did. But at the same time I think the players should take a lot of responsibility for what has happened this season as it is the same players that were there last season and the season before that. They should have stood up really and be counted and I don't think they have this year in a lot of the games."

United's most experienced player Ryan Giggs takes over as player-manager for the rest of the season before a replacement manager is found.
